Hi Phoenix,

I know what it feels like to have no purpose. Usually when I think this, I am emotionally doing a bit better, because I am thinking about my job and wanting to get back to it. I have been off for almost two years. However, soon enough I cycle down and really don't care about having a purpose!
I have felt very bad about myself for not working or contributing, but I have to remind myself that I am ill. Other people don't expect me to be going off to work in the state I am in. I am sure your wife doesn't expect this of you.
So every once in a while, we need to give ourselves a break from out own high expectations and just say "it is what it is".
I hope you feel better soon.
